The Athenians went to no plays for ten months of the year. and then had an orgy of play-going: Three days on the trot with four plays a day, one day with three comedies, not to mention other events. It makes the Three Choirs Festival look an occasion for wimps!

Anyway, Explorator has today collected reviews of all the following plays - all in the USA, so don't get excited if you live in Britain. Some of the reviews have interesting things to say about the relevance of these plays to today.
